Summer

I hate having my desk in front of a massive window looking out into my garden. I can see clear blue skies, our palm trees swaying in motion with the wind and the sun reflecting off my neighbours' roof. Summer is here!! I always looked forward to summer holidays. Days of surf, sun and sand, popsicles that would melt before you unwrapped the bloody thing, shopping at the Subi markets, driving in the hot hot sun down to cottesloe with the radio blasting. And the best thing of all- NO SCHOOL! Mind you, towards the end of the bolidays I would be looking forward to going back to school, only to regret that thought after the first week. That is something Im really going to miss about Perth- 4 seasons. Its different being in a country when its summer all year round, you don't get excited about change, you don't get to see leaves change colour, or notice that the sun sets at 5pm in winter or the way spring brings about a heavy dose of hay fever.

Nevertheless Im looking forward to going to Singaopre. Shopping centres open till 10pm everyday, working till 10pm, cheap movies, cheap food but Im most looking forward to being with steve all the time. It has been really hard doing this long distance thing and finally after more than 3 yrs we will be in the same city- how exciting. Oh and also looking forward to travelling around Asia, coz its so darn cheap to go anywhere from Singapore. Im heading off to Phuket jsut before i start work for only $28 bucks one way!! Thats like AUD22.50!!

Only another 3 days till my last exam. And only 13 days till I leave. Im going to stop before I get emotional and blab about stupid sentimentalities.
